Auburn council threatens court over planned suspension

Accusations of dodgy dealing could see controversial councilor Salim Mehajer and other Auburn councillors sacked by the NSW government.

But in the face of the potential action, Auburn Council has upped the ante and threatened to take the government to court.

The NSW government is threatening to appoint an administrator while a public inquiry examines the council’s planning and development decisions.

Local Government Minister Paul Toole has ordered a public inquiry into Auburn Council due to allegations councillors have used their position to obtain significant planning outcomes for themselves, relatives and fellow councillors.

Among the allegations is a decision to sell an unused carpark to a company owned by Cr Mehajer for millions less than its worth.

Cr Mehajer is probably best known for his lavish, street-closing wedding and his expensive taste in cars.

9NEWS has obtained the council’s submission, which argues “any suspension would be an inappropriate exercise of ministerial power and invalid. It would then be subject to legal challenge”.
